Did the Radar get converted into one or two houses? '1' and '2 Radar Close'?

This is the place now, not sure about '2':

Think I was in once when it was a pub. Must be lots of photos out there from its period as a drinking establishment.


I know we have a list of victorian pubs that have gone, but what would a recent (post 1970s) list look like?

Pubs/Clubs permanently closed: Grey Arms, Radar, County Parks, Amble Legion, The Fourways/Station, Marina, Norseman, ??????(the one in Warkworth along from the Warkworth House Hotel, name I forget at the moment), Shilbottle Club...Bede St Club also in the balance at the moment..... must be a few more.

Millennials, Gen z are not into drinking apparently. That combined with general price gouging probably means more closures in coming years and when our ponzi economy finally implodes a pub will be a rare thing I think. Drinking in Amble in the early eighties- Friday and Saturday night was 5 deep at the bar - you would walk into a place and walk straight back out again because you knew you would be standing there for 20 minutes waiting to get served. Things are a little different now.
